You're more likely to encounter bears right now than at other times of the year, as they're currently taking part in the "fall shuffle" as they roam in search of food-rich areas looking to fatten up for the winter hibernation.

They'll then return to their home range to den for the winter once they've found enough. This could continue till December, the National Park Service says.
